The singer told Bravo’s Andy Cohen on Wednesday that she had “heard from Angelina’s camp” on Tuesday after she publicly defended Brad, saying the abuse allegations, allegedly spread by Jolie’s camp, were “unfounded” and “heartbreaking.” She also added she had so much dirt on Jolie that “someday I’ll write a book.”

Etheridge said on “Watch What Happens Live,” “There are people whose job it is to kind of fix things for celebrities.”

Etheridge added of the warning, “I understand because sometimes we say things — I haven’t seen Brad in forever. And certainly haven’t seen him since he’s been with Angelina. And every time I say something, it gets out there and it gets turned around and twisted, and all of a sudden I’m saying something about her.”

Rather than talk about the split some more, Etheridge performed a brand new song about it instead, titled, appropriately enough, “The Fixer Blues.”

While the bluesy tune didn’t defend Pitt — “I ain’t picking no fight, none of my business who’s wrong or right” — it did come down hard on breakups: “The moral of this story — divorce is a bitch, and nobody wins.”

And just to make sure everyone was clear she was just having some fun, the musician closed things on a humorous note, much to the host’s delight.

“And when you’re talking to Andy Cohen, you better watch what you say,” she jokingly sang.

But we listened to the audio of Etheridge’s initial comments again, and it’s worth reminding her that she did indeed say, “I was around when Angelina was not doing nice things with Billy Bob to Laura Dern . . . then to know the side of Jennifer [Aniston] and Brad . . . Oh it’s crazy. I helped Laura move out of her house with Billy Bob. I, like, broke into their home to get her stuff out because it was so nasty.”
